I’ve recently made a switch from a free web hosting company to paid hosting with Dreamhost, following several days of complete frustration. For some reason (and very likely not the fault of the free web hosting company) I was unable to reach my blog for over a week; either by connecting from my computer at home or even using my phone. Strangely, though, I seemed able to reach it from work just fine. What could be wrong? The story I have to tell is one worth reading by anyone torn between free web hosting and a modest outlay for a paid host. Along the way, perhaps I can explain a few things about how the Internet works, too.
